Bay Area Running of Bulls - 7/21/07

[Matador]

Anyone up for a Lambo drive? There are about 10 of us (Lambos only) that will be doing a scenic drive from the Peninsula to the East Bay for lunch. We will be starting at 9am on Saturday morning on 7/21/07.

Please PM me if you have a Lambo and are interested in a drive.

Yay! Harry's first post. Welcome. :) Sounds like a great drive.

Now if only I had a Lambo to call my own and a Saturday off. Although I think I promised my first Saturday off to another board member. I'm supposed to get my booty down to Santana Row. You'll probably be there too. :D

[pdisme]

Harry, welcome, great to have you here!

[Matt]

welcome! Post up some pics if you get a chance :grinning-smiley-003

[Matador]

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I think I'm gonna like it here. I'm sending all my buddies here to join in on the fun. :wave:

Yes, you do! :grinning-smiley-003

I've got some photos from the same guy that I've been needing to load into the gallery, he has some great stuff.

[duc749r]

Yes, you do! :grinning-smiley-003



Im working on a deal right now, if it goes through i will be buying myself a nice Christmas present ;)

[pdisme]

No one has ever gotten me a Christmas present like that; not even me. :lol2:

[duc749r]

LOL

A few shots from prior outings....

Where is that water? Gorgeous. I want to take my car there. We should get Kirby on here. He's a great asset and I'm supposed to shoot with him too. :)

[Matador]

2 of the shots were taken near Highway 1 in the back of a restaurant. The restaurant owner actually had his staff put boards up a steep curb to allow us access to the open area for the photos. The color came out vibrant, but I think that there's a fair amount of PS involved. I don't recall the water being that blue.

I'll let Kirby know about TL, even tho he's a "non-exotic". :) However, I did loan him the G for a week and he loved it.

He does have plans of acquiring his own. We've been talking. :)

[pdisme]

I think I remember now; I had seen some of this pics on his site and emailed to see if I could post them here, he said sure but then I forgot to. :banghead:

So Kirby, when you getting a Lambo? :)

[lambo_freak]

Shotgun!!!!!

[Matador]

Hey I found this place...thanks to Harry!

Hey Kirby,

Welcome. You found where I've been hiding. This place is what a real Lambo site should be. None of the crazy AllanLambo crap.

:beerchug:

I second that - imagine a Lambo board where people are actually nice to each other? :)

Am getting my MY08 Gallardo on or around the first week of August. Its been built and is on a ship somewhere even as we speak.

Look forward to hooking up with some or all of you!

Awesome, welcome to the board! :beerchug: Did you custom configure it all yourself at ordering? Any exciting options? (Not that anything is not exciting on a Lamborghini) What color?

Thanks!
Yup, chose all the options for MY 2007 and then had to choose them again for MY 08 :)

Color / Significant Options:

Nero Serapis (metallic black) with bi-color elegant interior (black / tan), e-gear, nav, callisto wheels, yellow calipers

The MY08 comes standard with on-board computer, USB interface for the entertainment system, heated mirrors and Tire Pressure Monitoring System

Plus - I heard from my dealer today that we now get a 3 year warranty!

The car sounds bad ass, I can't wait to see it.

Sounds like MY '08 has had the few things I've complained about added. :( :lol2: Well heated mirrors I don't need in Florida but really device interface to the stereo and tire pressure are the two things I expected to have in the car when I bought it that it didn't have. The third complaint has been remedied by ripping the dumb divider out of the trunk. And a three year warranty?! That's excellent for resale on an exotic.

Rotus,

That sounds like an awesome car; just one more month to go. Would love for you to join us on our drives. We just finished doing a recon run for this upcoming Saturday drive. It is going to be fun, fun, fun!

Hi everyone! I'm a migrant from FChat hence the name Prancing Horse. That said, I own a yellow G and love it.

I post occasionally on LPower and exchanged a few posts with Rotus (congrats again!). Here are some example drives:

This is the first Lambos only event we have organized. As Matador said, we did the recon and this augurs to be another amazing drive!!!

Hey Prancing Horse,

You made it here! Great, now you can post the pictures from our upcoming drive here.

[Matador]

If anyone else is interested in going on a Lambo drive tomorrow morning, please PM me. We'll be meeting at 9am.

[lambo_freak]

Where does it start? I don't have a lambo and would love to ride shotgun. It would be my first lambo ride!!!

They're talking about the real Bay Area, not ours. :)

Yeah nothing happens in Tampa, its all about South Florida :headbang:

quick and dirty (and crappy) video I whipped up to show a bit of the drive.

hopefully some others have something better.. and pics

[AgentTripleX]

You've got better skills than me. Thanks for posting. Looks like fun. Next time you guys do this needs to be on a Sunday. Maybe I can help coordinate. I know Paisley wants to ride as a passenger and so do I. Although I wouldn't mind driving a bit either. ;)

[Five]

A passenger would have helped with the video. It's not so easy driving the diablo and shooting video at the same time :-)

[gday]

I use one of these for front shots:

Can't imagine doing it solo like that! Thats a trick!

[Prancing Horse]

This was an awesome drive!!!

Five: Great job on the vid. You obviously have mult-tasking nailed down especially the look backs!

Here's my fun clip. Please turn the volume up for maximum enjoyment:

Pics to come.

[Prancing Horse]

First time posting pics so I'm not sure how this will work out:

[gday]

The pics are great! Looks like the San Mateo "raceway" was involved ;)

What was the whole route? Going to have to get my act together one day.

[pdisme]

Awesome vids!

[Matador]

It was an awesome drive; thanks for planning it out Prancing Horse (aka Prancing Bull). Here are a couple of pics, hopefully video coming soon.

[pdisme]

See, who said orange was the most common?! :)

Thanks for posting your vid. I do Lotus runs, and it's such a blast. I'm sure you guys had an amazing time. Tunnels rock!

[Prancing Horse]

. . .hopefully video coming soon.

Matador: I can't wait to see it. It will be a nice sequel to mine :lol2:

AgentTripleX: See you next time. Maybe you can grab one of the "company" cars too ;)

Five, that requires some serious coordination...and you were doing all of that sipping a coke and talking on the cell phone?? :)

Here's another version of the tunnel drive:

[pdisme]

:lol2: :lol2: :headbang: Great first post june_gl!! Welcome!

[Matador]

Great vid,thanks for posting june_gl. It's awesome when you open 2 browsers and put the video side by side with Prancing Horses's video. You can almost feel like you're in the tunnel with the cars. It's tricky getting the timing right, but June's video should be on the right and started first. After about 5 seconds, start the other video.

Here's another version of the tunnel drive:

Hi Jhun. Glad you're here. ;)

[june_gl]

Here is the 30-second sequel to the drive, though not quite as exhilarating as the tunnel!
